measuring by tape 3cms bigger than week ago?

[princessatmey]

just had mw apoin an am 38+3 an neasured just over 40cm an week ago in hosp at 37+3 measured just over 37wks. Ive never measured that big in any other preg an baby is 1 5th engaged or mw 4/5 (said at brim). I was in hosp week ago due raised bp. She didnt seem concerned an told me see them in 2weeks ? But then said see at home at term if not delivered (never gone over due). So confused now bp was 130/84 but ive been gettin headaches everyday since hosp (not bad but there) an alot cramps tht are stronger each day(nvr had in other pregs an i labour fast).

Was it a different person who measured bump at 37 weeks?
I've heard that even at the same point in pregnancy, three different MWs could give 3 different measurements as they all do it slightly differently - some pull the tape tighter, some let it be a bit looser, etc.

FH measurements can be really off so I wouldn't worry, especially if she didn't seem to be x

I am a little freaked myself by something similar... My fundal height was 39 last week and 41 at today's appointment... I am just over 35 weeks and my last ultrasound was last Thursday and was told baby is already measuring 5lbs 10oz... This kid is gonna be HUGE!!! *cries*
